1. EC: Yes, we have the entity now known as, or called, [1910], and those relations of the entity with the universal forces as are latent and exhibited in the present entity.
2. In the astrological sense, little is found compatible with the experiences of the entity - as applied; yet much is often felt innately in the entity as respecting the relativity of experience in transition through the influences by the entity. Being both materialistic-minded and mysterialistic-minded, there become some combative conditions at times in the experiences of the entity; for while conditions may be manifested to the entity through mysticisms, mysterious forces, they are oft held imaginative, and yet oft find the very definite form of experience for the entity - but they MUST, to the entity, take form.
3. In the astrological influences, then, these are seen as innate:
4. Coming under the astrological influence of Cancer and Capricorn, these have little save as passing fancies of interest; yet under Venus WITH same, those inductive influences of various forms of music, chants, odors, and such, weave for the entity a mysterious force as is oft felt as would like to indulge IN without knowing its full meaning; for, as the entity will - and does - experience, to the entity - and to all, as a warning - mysticism oft, under such influence, bespeaks carnal sensuousness, but UNDER the same influence - in an occult establishment of VISION - becomes stabilizing in its effect upon the abilities, to make CONSCIOUS images of an unseen force. Well that this differentiation be studied and considered well, ESPECIALLY by THIS entity, would the entity become STABILIZED in the developments for self as respecting the mysteries of life and the influences occidental and oriental life has upon same.
5. In the same influence is seen that felt exercised in the
1910-1 Page 2
entity's experience in Neptune and Venus, in how that the MYSTERIES of the deep (such as indulged in, in the visions as are brought up, or to the entity, either in the characterization of the literature the entity seeks or the visions as are had by entity) bespeak of creative forces to the entity, but are often turned into the mysteries of formality, or formalism. Do not misjudge or misinterpret these experiences or influences in the entity's experience.
6. In those conditions as make for the studies of the entity, the seeking - as innate forces - for the influences held by those who concentrate in the silence and in the mental imaginative forces - these, guided by a stabilized IDEAL, may be made most helpful; these - run rampant, without consideration as to whether same becomes riotous in activity; not clothed, to be sure, in any form of censure, but as to whether same becomes a continuity of influences as of helpfulness or riotousness - without respect of persons, places or things - is different.
7. In the influences as seen that the entity holds upon individuals and associations as related to environments and hereditary influences, these are as hedged BY the entity's experience - as will be seen through those influences acted upon by the will of the entity in the various experiences. This also makes for that tendency of becoming ofttimes the recluse - that is, in self's actions and activities - when more of a general and mediocre condition would be the most ENLIGHTENING and helpful. At other times it is found that the entity is too quick spoken, too outspoken in the expression as to try OUT others, when proper consideration of THEIR place, time and condition is not given by the entity, in relationship to the individual's development as to environment or hereditary influence. Hereditary influence and environment here mean rather as of that INNATELY builded, than physically manifested.
8. In the influences of likes and dislikes in the entity, here we find these become very decided all of a sudden and as much of a sudden they change. This is a characterization of those whose influences are under Neptune or Cancer, with the days in that period, in that sphere in which the entity finds expression, or entering in, coming in, near the dog days. Then, as to animals and their relationships - these are held too close to as of one. All FORCE and all POWER is of one source, as is life - but the ASSOCIATIONS of each are individual, and should be classified so BY the entity in its STUDY of the relationships of animal, matter, celestial matter, material matter. In SPIRIT one, but all flesh is not of one flesh - as some are given a cosmic influence only
1910-1 Page 3
and others the ability to become one with the creative energy itself, in its CLEANSING of itself to be one in its relationships.
9. In the influences seen in those of the arts, these - when they take on the mysterious forces - are of interest; so, then, the futuristic views become interesting and mean much to the entity, when to others little is seen. This may be made extreme or worthwhile in the entity's experience.
10. In the appearances and the influences these have upon the entity in its present experience:
11. In the one before this we find in that land now known as the Old Colony, or Massachusetts, during those periods of persecutions of those who had familiar spirits, or those who saw, heard and understood much as is closed from carnal- minded men. The entity was among those who were considered as favored, or as too easy with those of the opposite sex as had such experience, and SUFFERED - both in body and mind - during the experience, in the name Iilel. In the present such experiences are as to cause (when persecutions of same) particularly shudders in the region of the pineal and its center, as of shivers, quivers, or quakes, and sorrow enters in the mental being. In the use of same in the present experience, these applied in the direction of an ideal - and a basis for same - may become worth while.
12. In the one before this we find in that period when there were the divisions during those periods of the Crusades in the first experience. The entity then was among those leaders against the peoples about the holy place. Not wholly fanatical, the entity - yet the visions as detailed to the entity, and the physical activities of entity during the period were not compatible. In the experiences of the present day, while much of tolerance has become innate - yet those deeper grudges, those deeper influences as to rule or ruin, have not been removed from the entity's real makeup. During the first of the Crusades did the entity seek to find those places about which the MASTER walked. In the name Eliud. The entity was, in the period, of the Teutone (as known now) descent, or of the Ahrn.
13. In the one before this we find in that period known as the division in the land now known as Egypt. The entity then was of those peoples of the natives who were dispossessed by the lands of the north country and the peoples as came in to establish a differentiation in the teaching and applications of man's influence and man's inter-relation. The entity was then among the native zealots who rose in rebellion against these influences. When the priest was in exile the entity rebelled with those who in
1910-1 Page 4
the south country rose to establish a different rule, and columns yet may be seen along the river of life, or Nile, as were in defense by the entity BUILDED at that period, yet under water most of the period at present. In this experience the entity lost and gained, lost and gained - for the entity in and through that of the manhood age was a continual combative force with the attempts of the people in the north, as to whether there would be the establishment, even after the return of the exile and when peace and quietude was over most of the land - the entity, in the name Eo-Litken, raised the arm of might physically against the emissaries, against those who would give an understanding to the peoples, and DESTRUCTIVE forces came in the entity's experience; yet MENTALLY well developed.
14. In the one before this we find in the land known as (now) the Mongoloid, or in the Gobi land - as called. The entity was among the peoples who established THERE their first contact, in a MATERIAL sense, with the outside world. The entity was one of power - physical, corporal - and of cunning in the mental field, overbalancing self during the period, yet much was accomplished by the entity in a SERVICE for many during that sojourn. Hence travel, and especially FINDINGS, in this particular region, hold an innate feeling - and the entity searches to find what has been discovered.
15. In the abilities of the entity in the present, and that to which it may attain - and how:
16. Finding self first, MUCH may be accomplished - both mentally and materially. About waters, oft among people - many of same, but first discovering self, that relationship to the universal forces and how they may manifest in self and be USABLE in a material plane - then WRITE about same!
